Wuruma Dam was constructed across the Nogo River in the Upper Burnett River Catchment for irrigation & town water supply for Eidsvold, Mundubbera & Gayndah.

SunWater is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for our dams is maintained. The spillway will be upgraded in the longer term. [ [http://www.sunwater.com.au/current_projects_Spillway.htm Spillway Capacity Upgrade Program] ]

Fishing

A "Stocked Impoundment Permit" is required to fish in the dam [ [http://www2.dpi.qld.gov.au/fishweb/1339.html Fishing in Queensland dams? You may need a permit.] ] .
